Plug and play.

But when you plug a Dac / Amp into the pc the sound of the speakers stop coming out, I'm asking all these questions because I've never had one.

So when you plug in a new sound device, at least into Windows (never used Linux/Mac, not sure there), all you have to do is set your new default audio device.

Spoiler

Control Panel->Sound should look something like this:

Just click on the device you want to play sound out of and set default.

It is also recommended to enter properties and setup as follows:

Disable All Enhancements

24bit, 44100khz

Then plug all your headphones/speakers into the dac/amp.

so I recently got ahold of one of those gizmos, it gives 16mV DC offset on its HO and their tech support tells me that it's perfectly normal?

Is there anything I can do to elimate the ugly 3.5mm converter when using 2.5mm headphones? It kills the clean look of the dac/amp. Still don't get why all the non-dac'd connections are 2.5mm, but the main is 3.5mm. It's so ugly with an adapter plugged in.

Huh? Did you shift the sizes down? The main headphone out is 6.35mm and the dac out is 3.5mm.

I mixed up connectors in my mind. Question still stands though. :|

Really wish they used 3.5mm for all connections.

 

[SomeTechNoob]

I actually like the 1/4" for the headphone connector. It's a lot more durable than 3.5mm connectors and adapting from 3.5 to 1/4" is much cleaner than adapting from 1/4" to 3.5.

Seems a little high, but again depends on what you read. Rockgrotto say:

"Basically, anything under 20mV is totally acceptable. 20mV to 50mV is borderline and anything greater than 50mV is a definite NO NO."

But I know you know your stuff, so what is your take on an acceptable level?

bought another one this week from EU vendor. QC is really good on this now, must be a newer batch. Knob is really well finished, screw heads are pristine. Knob alignment is perfect, usb head goes in super smooth and easy to remove as well. Very happy! Still cant get over how great the sound is.

Sounds really good! And hi (first post). My Fulla 2 is in the mail from Schiit (Europe). It will be used with a pair of Phillips X2's Will give an update concerning scratching, knob placement etc.

Which format should we be using with this in Windows? 24bit/44100?

Fulla 2 handles up to 24/96K so I'm using that.

Thanks, I'll give it a shot.

Technically you should be using the same sample rate that the song track was recorded in. Also apparently the Windows driver sucks at supersampling as well. Most music is 44.1khz so I stuck it to that.

Not like I really hear or notice a difference anyway though.

I returned mine. It had non of the issues previously mentioned. Only a very slight noise when adjusting the volume. I just couldn't justify the purchase since I could hardly hear any difference between this and the soundcard in my NUC. So decided my money is better spend on something else. And since I decided to get a pair of X2's (32ohm) rather than the Sennheiser 650 (300ohm) there really wasn't any need for a dedicated amplifier.
